The Sad Loss of Edward Hicks, Beloved Bronx RotarianMembers of the Rotary Club of the Bronx are devastated by the loss of one of our most wonderful members, Edward Hicks. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word, a tireless and dedicated Rotarian who introduced many new members to the Club, a humble and genuinely loving individual who always had a smile and charming sense of humor. We will all miss him terribly. ![]() |

Helping people with disabilities make their own music![]() Music has been an important part of leading an ordinary life for students at the Music School for Children With Disabilities in Honor of Paul Harris in Lublin, Poland. Founded by Rotary members, the school serves 20 students with various disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism, and visual impairments. The Rotary Club of Lublin-Centrum-Maria Curie-Sklodowska has provided funding with help from Rotary Foundation Matching Grants and the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society, which houses the school. After their son Mateusz was born with underdeveloped eyes, Mariusz and Joanna Kania looked for ways to help him be active. When he showed an aptitude for music, they looked for a teacher and were thrilled to find the Paul Harris music school. |
